A/N: I'm basing school off my experience which is the English School System, sorry.
It was early December and Jack Frost found himself watching over the high school that Jamie was going to attend in a couple years time. He found it fascinating, considering he'd never had a life like that. Jack was about to leave as Lunch time started but something, or rather someone, caught his eye. It was a 15 year old girl with golden blonde hair and bright green eyes that were screwed up in concentration. She was drawing something into a small notebook until a group of children stalked over to her. A girl with long dark hair that covered her eyes ripped the notebook from her hands and broke into a fit of laughter, along with the two other girls beside her.
"Is that Jack Frost? And the Easter Bunny?" The girls' harsh voice cackled.
"How old are you?" one teased, grinning.
"You still believe? How sad are you?" another girl mocked.
"You're pathetic, Amy," the dark haired girl spat.
Jack felt anger that he'd only experienced when Sandy had been killed. How could people bully someone for believing?
Amy sighed, her eyes weary and face tired. It looked like she got this kind of abuse a lot. Just as the dark haired girl was about to rip the detailed drawing, Jack shot his staff in their direction. Suddenly ice appeared beneath their feet, causing the bullies to slip over. Amy let out a musical laugh, taking her drawing back. Her eyes shone, and she looked around for Jack, knowing it must have been the Winter Spirits doing. Jack smirked and managed to disappear before Amy spotted him.
Amy smiled and little did Jack know that her belief in him rose tenfold. Amy ran off before her bullies finally got up from flailing around and slipping over on the ice.
After the episode Jack promised to himself that he'd watch over Amy as that was what he is meant to do as a Guardian. Protect kids who believe. No matter how old they may be.
It was Tuesday and it was Amy's birthday. She ran to her window, flinging it open in hope to see snow. She sighed, the grass was ice covered and everything frost bitten outside, clearly Jack Frost had made a visit. Though there wasn't snow like she was hoping. She sighed. She hadn't heard of him or seen him since he had helped her that day with the local bullies.
"Amy, there's no school today because of the ice! Come down stairs honey, we've got to open your gifts!" her mother shouted from downstairs. Amy smiled and shook off the disappointment and ran downstairs to her mother. She hugged her mum tight.
"Happy Birthday, sweetheart. There is only a few presents this year, I can't afford much but I hope you like," her mum whispered.
"Which one to open first, hm?" she smiled.
Her mother looked at her watch, and to the door, clearly needing to go to work soon.
Amy opened the first gift, a thin book-like shape to discover a professional sketchbook with a box of pencils and colouring pencils. She grinned widely. "Thank you!"
Her other gifts were paints and canvas book, along with a locket and a jumper she had asked for and also a journal for her to keep.
Her mother kissed her cheek. "I've got to go to work now honey, I'm sure you can look after yourself, there's food in the cupboards for lunch, bye!" she rushed the words out before leaving.
Once her mother had driven off, Amy bundled up in her winter clothing and went outside.
"All I want for my birthday is a little snow, Jack. It never snows on my birthday," she said to herself. Little did she know he heard until a snowflake fell on her nose. She grinned and looked up to see lots of snow falling around her, covering the ground. She felt ice cold snow hit her back Amy swirled around to see none other than Jack Frost himself.
"Jack! It's you!" she gasped, her emerald green eyes widening. He was so beautiful she thought, with his silver hair, bright blue eyes and snow white skin. Thank goodness for the cold making her cheeks red otherwise Jack would know how much she was blushing over him.
"Well, hey there," he laughed, holding another snow ball.
"I knew you were real," she murmured smiling.
"Always have been," he smiled back.
"Was it you who made those girls trip on that ice?"
Jack looked at her in mock surprise, raising his hands.
"What on earth would make you think I did that?" he exclaimed dramatically.
Amy laughed, shaking her head. "You're right, silly me," she joked.
Jack laughed and Amy could swear he saw his usually pale white cheeks flush slightly.
"Hey, there's a snowball fight in the park with the other kids, wanna come?" he offered.
Amy's eyes brightened and she beamed at him. She had never been invited to anything; all the girls in her year hated her and cast her out. She nodded her head and followed the legend Jack Frost to the park. For hours Jack and Amy had snowball fights and Jack had sneakily won with Jamie as his teammate. Jack had given all the kids sleigh rides down the town, along with Amy who'd screamed and laughed her head off at the same time. She felt good to act like a kid again Jack and Amy had stayed behind at the park after all the other kids had left and built a snowman together.
"I had fun today, Jack. Thanks," Amy whispered quietly as she shaped the snowman's head.
"No problem and happy birthday by the way, what was your favourite gift?"Jack inquired, making conversation as they started to walk home.
"The snow," she blurted.
Jack shot her a grin.
She felt the heat in her cheeks and she looked away.
"I got you something else too," he said slowly.
Amy looked over in suprise as Jack held out a necklace with a white crystal pendant hanging from it. Amy felt her stomach do butterflies as she looked at it. It was the prettiest gift she had ever received. She smiled widely, taking it.
"Thank you," she whispered, admiring its beauty.
But when she looked up, he had disappeared.
